Chapter 28

As the star waves surged, one after another, Tang Zheng, on the verge of fading away, experienced moments of clarity and confusion. However, after the almost starburst-like impact, his senses became incredibly clear.

His star meridians were protected by the vast purple-gold power of the Purple-Gold Belt, so there was no real problem. But only now did he realize that someone had been protecting his body all along!

The main star's force that injured the star meridians could have caused serious damage if a wooden board, propelled by star power, had hit him...

"Come, let's settle this!" Tang Zheng, like a drowning person regaining consciousness, suddenly drew a deep breath and reached the peak of his control over star power!

Just as the two waves of star power touched, Tang Zheng roared and forcefully shifted their peaks, twisting both waves of star power into arcs!

After twisting the star waves, he immediately accelerated one of the two distinct waves while simultaneously slowing down the other!

The immense impact force surged back and forth within him...

Tang Zheng, facing the surging waves of star power, exerted all his strength to control the familiar yet strange star power within his body.

Gradually, the two competing main star powers were twisted and their speeds altered...

In the end, they formed two fish chasing each other's tails!

In an instant, the storm calmed!

"Did... did he succeed?" Tang Xiaotang, drained of all her strength, fell to the ground.

Behind Tang Zheng, the star pattern of the Purple-Gold Treasure quietly floated up. At the position of the first life palace, it was not a single star that shone, nor was it the half-gold, half-silver star of Meng Fenghua, but rather, two star powers, one half-black and the other half-white, chasing each other's tails, forming a delicate balance that was not even recorded in the star manuals...

"Hi~ Xiaotang." Tang Zheng opened his eyes and saw the disheveled Tang Xiaotang, the unconscious Meng Fenghua, and the mess in the small house, greeting her awkwardly.

"Ah? Ah!" In the intricate and beautiful patterns of the Purple-Gold Treasure, a star like flowing ink caught Tang Xiaotang's attention, making her stare in amazement.

Although Tang Zheng had not yet completed the "Star Attraction Technique," he knew what had happened by looking at the bright room.

A single star at birth!

With the appearance of the star pattern, his first life palace was also lit up!

Tang Xiaotang struggled to get up from the ground and managed a smile, "I'm going to deduct a year's pay from you!"

"Alright." Tang Zheng just smiled and helped her support Meng Fenghua, who had just regained consciousness.

The other Tang Family Manor disciples, who had been ordered by Tang Xiaotang to wait outside, rushed in when they heard the commotion inside calm down.

Everyone was stunned.

In the bright room, although it was in a mess, the star pattern of the Purple-Gold Treasure behind Tang Zheng was as bright as snow—only a star pattern with a lit life palace would emit such a brilliant, star-like glow!

"What's going on here?"

"A single star at birth? But..."

"The teacher is already an adult!"

If it were a star pattern of a higher level, one would be born with a single star power.

How could a situation like Tang Zheng's occur?

"This... should be something that cannot happen in this world..." Meng Fenghua's eyelids twitched as she looked at the star behind Tang Zheng.

No one had ever seen a star on a star pattern that actually moved!

Tang Xiaotang, covering her chest, coughed hard and said with a forced smile, "Are all the older brothers and sisters just watching a show here?"

The Tang Family Manor disciples quickly sprang into action, frantically administering medicine and treating wounds.

"I'm fine. It's just some external injuries. Go check on Xiaotang." Meng Fenghua waved her hand.

Meng Fenghua's first life palace contained one star of Purple and one star of Greed. If Tang Zheng had not caused a near-starburst with the collision of the Sun and Moon stars, she would have had no problem controlling the situation.

Tang Zixie, on the side, used his star power to check Tang Xiaotang's star meridians and frowned, "Send someone to bring Uncle and the others back."

"What's wrong?" Tang Xiaotang, not even noticing the blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, asked.

"Don't move," Tang Zixie stopped Tang Xiaotang, "Xiaotang's star meridians are a bit damaged."

"How serious is it?" Meng Fenghua, sitting on the ground, glanced at Xiaotang.

"Not too serious, but... with the star meridians damaged, Xiaotang's star power is now at most at the high stage of the first star..."

The Tang Family Manor, located in a chaotic area, had very strong clan members. Tang Xiaotang was one of the more talented, already at the peak of the first star at the age of fifteen, just waiting for her star power to stabilize before attempting to light up the second main star in her life palace!

However, the damage to the star meridians had a significant impact on star power. Even though it was only a minor injury, it was enough to make Tang Xiaotang's star power regress from the peak of the first star to the high stage of the first star.

"What's the big deal? I'll just cultivate more!" Tang Xiaotang shook her head and smiled, still showing the carefree attitude of someone from a chaotic area, "This is my first experience with the collision of main stars... Although the amount of star power has decreased, its intensity has increased. In a way, I've turned a disaster into a blessing."

As she spoke, she summoned her star pattern, a huge fiery red thorn flower!

Each petal on the star pattern was as brilliant as a burning cloud, and the bright star not only flowed normally but also emitted a more stable aura, despite her injuries.

Seeing that she was fine, Tang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief but still asked, "Is there any way to repair damaged star meridians?"

"Generally, no special treatment is needed," Meng Fenghua replied, "For minor damage, star power will naturally nourish and repair itself. But for more serious damage, some 'Purple-Gold Flower Water' is needed to aid recovery."

"What is Purple-Gold Flower?" Tang Zheng asked.

"..." The Tang Family Manor disciples looked at him with strange expressions.

"Ha ha," Tang Xiaotang laughed without restraint, "Purple-Gold Flower... what kind of flower is that?"

"There is no such flower as Purple-Gold Flower. Purple-Gold Flower Water is a fragrance extracted from the dew of thirteen kinds of precious flowers. It's called Purple-Gold Flower Water because... it's very expensive!" Tang Zixie explained.

Tang Xiaotang was still laughing, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth again.

Tang Zheng asked, "Where can I buy it?"

"Original top-grade Purple-Gold Flower Water is out of the question; even if you have the money, you can't buy it," Tang Zixie shook his head, "Even the diluted versions, fifty or a hundred times, cost two taels of Purple-Gold Treasure for a small bottle, and it's uncertain whether it's even available in Wulong Town."

"Right, because the production of Purple-Gold Flower Water is very limited. The Yao Mountain Tribe only supplies one or two percent of its annual production to the seven top families, and the rest is for their own use," Meng Fenghua nodded, "But I still have half a bottle, of course, it's diluted. Let's give it to Xiaotang first."

"No, no, I just had a collision with the main stars. Girls from our Tang Family Manor aren't so delicate. A bowl of chicken soup and a few days of rest will do the trick..." Tang Xiaotang waved her hands.

"Alright." Tang Zheng stood up.

"What are you going to do?"

"Kill a chicken."

"Ha ha..." Tang Xiaotang almost spat out another mouthful of blood.

"How does that make you feel, moved?"

"Sister Fenghua, go quickly! The teacher is clumsy, don't let him tear up the kitchen!" Tang Xiaotang shouted loudly.

"Damn!" Tang Zheng almost fell at the threshold.

...

In the kitchen, Meng Fenghua split a chicken in half with one sword strike, leaving Tang Zheng speechless.

Seeing that she was not doing a good job, Tang Zheng quickly stopped her, "I'll do it, I'll do it."

In his previous life, Tang Zheng had mastered all life skills, and handling a chicken was a piece of cake.

While slaughtering the chicken, blanching it, and preparing the ingredients, he asked Meng Fenghua, "Is the original Purple-Gold Flower Water better for nourishing star meridians?"

"No," Meng Fenghua shook her head, "Because, after all, Purple-Gold Flower Water is a fragrance, and nourishing star meridians is just a secondary use."

"Then, is there nothing else for nourishing meridians?"

"There is, but they all have side effects, and they taste particularly bad. For Xiaotang's minor star meridian damage, using other side-effect drugs would be worse than not using them at all."

"Huh," Tang Zheng didn't understand this logic, "If the nourishing effect of Purple-Gold Flower Water is just a secondary use, why is there nothing better?"

"Actually, if the formula for Purple-Gold Flower Water were improved, the effect would be even better, but... the Yao Mountain Tribe would rather make the bottles prettier than improve the formula. They consider aesthetics first, not practicality!" Meng Fenghua looked frustrated.

As they chatted, the pot of soup was quickly stewed.

Tang Zheng had too many things about his star pattern that he couldn't understand: why his star pattern was the Purple-Gold Treasure, why he was born with a single star but only lit it up now, why he was born with two stars, and why he could form that delicate balance with the two star powers...

Meng Fenghua was very curious about all of this.

But living in a place like Wulong Town for a long time, she had developed the habit of not asking others about their secrets.

She ladled the soup and, just as she was about to lift the bowl, she saw Tang Zheng standing still, staring at the ceiling.

"What's wrong?" Meng Fenghua asked.

"Didn't you hear it?" Tang Zheng looked at Meng Fenghua.

Meng Fenghua shook her head.

Tang Zheng listened again and smiled, "Nothing, maybe a cat ran across the roof. Let's go."
